Kworld ub435-Qv3 QAM tuner is DVB-C

[darknessgp]

Installed a Kworld ub435-Qv3 and it seems to work well with TVHeadend for OTA... but I also have cable service, so this thing is supposed to be able to do QAM. My tv has a built in QAM tuner and plugging this into a windows machine with their software and I can pick up quite a few channels. Plugged into my Raspberry pi 2, and it can't find anything...

Well, I found this http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/thread...st-1027501
That appears to say that the tuner tries to present itself as a DVB-C tuner when it's really not... If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it... I'm probably looking to get a different tuner, given how much of a headache this one has been.

I think tvheadend is not fully ready for QAM tuners, but I might be wrong:

After playing around with this tuner and a WinTV HVR-950Q... tvheadend 3.4 on Raspbian appears to work with the 950Q but not the UB435. It scans QAM and picks up the channels my TV does, but my recordings have massive artifacts throughout... If I upgrade tvheadend past 3.4, the predefined QAM muxes do not add any muxes and it is very inconsistent with scanning when I add manually. I can add a mux, and it fails the first 2 scans, but the 3rd one finally finds the channel... though then playing it live sometimes it works, but most of the time it acts like it can't find the audio/video streams and recording doesn't work at all. Records black screen with no audio.

I tried VDR, but could not get it to recognize either USB tuner at all... ultimately, it's been a frustrating and disappointing time missing with this and my TV works fine watching channels, I'll just have to wait for better QAM support for recording.
